Hey guys. Just found your show. Love it. One piece of feedback here. Going through the past episode. Learning a lot. I’ve heard you mention the 203k loan a few times. It is a great opportunity but it’s probably a good idea to make sure that your audience knows that the 203k loans are a lot of work to close. We got one for our primary residence. It got us into a house that we couldn’t have gotten otherwise, but it was difficult to find a lender who would accept them, we had to jump through a bunch of hoops and had a lot of trouble finding a contractor. Listeners should be prepared for a very long road. It took us months to close and we had a great down payment and good credit.

Great podcast! I also found the 50% rule outrageously high at first. I am thankful for BP though. Even though I haven’t bought a property yet I am able to make sure I don’t get into a bad deal. Most deals I ran rough numbers on don’t pass that rule of thumb or come close. I am excited to keep evaluating deals until I make my first purchase!
